Welcome to the 2nd TV on DVD* Challenge. Why the asterisk? Because we're allowing TV content from other formats, but the emphasis should still be on DVD. If you TiVo your content, still have VHS releases or just like to catch it over the air, so be it.

MinLShaw is preoccupied with other things, so I'm stepping in to take over this year since nobody else has jumped in and we're getting close to the start.

The Rules

This challenge begins 12:00 AM January 1st and concludes February 1st at dawn.

Eligible content is anything originally produced for television broadcast, including television series, mini-series, made-for-TV movies and specials (including, but not limited to, stand-up specials and music performances). Also eligible are movies that are directly part of the continuity of eligible content. If you are uncertain, please ask in the discussion thread!

Since I like to do a rankings, number your lists in the standard TV format. With Commercials:
15 min = 1/4 entry
30 min = 1/2 entry
60 min = 1 entry

Without Commercials:
If it normally airs on TV as a 30 minute show with commercials, like The Simpsons, just count it as a standard 30 minute show with commercials.
Otherwise, go by this chart:
12 min = 1/4 entry
23 min = 1/2 entry
45 min = 1 entry

If you're watching shorts that aren't easy to count, like Looney Tunes, just keep track of how many minutes you watch in general, and then put down on your list when you get enough for a partial entry, like this:

63.25 - Looney Tunes

You don't have to type out the name of every Looney Tunes cartoon you watched, just make it simple and group it all together. If you watch a DVD full of them and it's 90 minutes, just call it 1 entry of Looney Tunes.

Prizes will be awarded based on a random drawing from a pool of participants. You will need to enter to be eligible for each prize (i.e., no rollover).

* The emphasis of this challenge should be to explore the impact that the DVD format has had on how we view TV content, but you are not restricted to the DVD format. You may watch your content on VHS, Blu-ray, over-the-air broadcast, digital download, online streaming; whatever format suits you.

Prizes will be drawn at random from active participants.
